Praline Pecan Cookies
"These wonderful cookies taste like a cross between praline candy and cookies because of the small amount of flour used. They are great if you don't care for the sweetness of praline candy"

Delicious, light and delicate yet with a subtle sweetness! This cookie would be the perfect accompaniment to a dish of your favorite ice cream or sherbet, or perhaps a cup of after dinner coffee. Simple to make. I enjoyed these cookies very much! Thank you, Luby for sharing! -
I agree with Bev, these are the perfect dessert cookie. These are quick and easy and look so pretty and delicate. Just serve them up on a doily lined platter and people with think that you have slaved for hours. -
These cookies are wonderful. They score big points for being easy. Next time I am making a double batch.

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
